Speak
National Volunteering Week
I really enjoyed being a part of the India@75 NVW.
The story telling workshop conducted in the school
was extremely fun while being an educative activity.
Interacting with so many children and knowing their
point of view was very interesting. Interacting with
them there made me happy.
“ “Tanya RanaThe Flush Mob
It was an enriching experience to work with specially
abled children. One can learn many things from them
like smiling even in worries. These children despite
all difficulties in life try to learn as much as they cann
and never give up. A big salute to them!!“ “
